For the information of list members.
The Victorian Department of Sustainability & Environment has just released
an updated list for threatened vertebrate species for this state.
Advisory list of threatened vertebrate fauna in Victoria - 2007
The list indicates both the conservation classification under the Flora
and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 in terms of the listing of a species under
that Act plus the status in the departments 'management list' (which is
not a statutory list).
Some bird species have gone up in their conservation assessment since the
last list (2003) while others have gone done.
I encourage all those interested in the conservation of vertebrates in
Victoria (especially in birds) to be aware of the status of the species
they are observing and keep in mind that we are always interested in
receiving detailed reports of ANY threatened species form ANYWHERE in
Victoria.
People's observations can then be added to the Atlas of Victorian Wildlife
and will assist in better management of threatened species in south east
Australia.
The link to the new list is as follows:
